Quoting Prince Charles...
by Ali on Apr 30, 2008 06:00 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Prince Charles, Heir to the British Monarchy in a recent public speech at Oxford University stated:

"If there is much misunderstanding in the West about the nature of Islam, there is also much ignorance about the debt our own culture and civilisation owe to the Islamic world. It is a failure, which stems, I think, from the straight-jacket of history, which we have inherited. The medieval Islamic world, from central Asia to the shores of the Atlantic, was a world where scholars and men of learning flourished. But because we have tended to see Islam as the enemy of the West, as an alien culture, society, and system of belief, we have tended to ignore or erase its great relevance to our own history."

Prince Charles has to thank Islam as one Islami(Dodi) became an excuse to eliminate princess Diana and his way was clear to get marry with his erstwhile girlfriend Camilla Parker Bowels.
Dude,hope you have understood the reason why Charles is expressing his grattitude for the Islamas one Islami has come to his rescue
